Trusscore was able to demonstrate that commitment by helping to flatten the curve at the outset of the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned the company and its new product during one of his recent COVID-19 media briefings. TempWall by Trusscore will continue to be a priority through the COVID-19 crisis and beyond, helping with physical distancing as the economy slowly reopens.
